Colby Red

Description

A unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Syrah, is a deep crimson color. Aromas of ripe red cherries, raspberries, and star anise jump from the glass. The wine is generous on the palate with a rich mouthfeel complemented by well-integrated tannins and bold flavors of red berry and hints of clove spice. The finish is smooth with a slight toasty, vanillin character which lingers and is achieved from oak aging. Easy to drink and enjoy, this wine is a crowd pleaser. Colby Red is a delicious red wine dedicated to raising funds for cardiac research. This wine is named in honor of Colby Rex Groom, son of winemaker Daryl Groom and his wife Lisa, who was born with Congenital Heart Disease. After two open-heart surgeries to repair a defective heart valve, Colby now has a St. Jude Medical valve, and is living a healthy and happy life. This wine represents the Groom family’s efforts to use their passion for winemaking and viticulture to give back for the help and support Colby received.
